newbie from MN

[txmnjim]

hello all,
i just found this forum and decided to give it a whirl. i'm on another
forum that many of you are also on and just spending quite a bit of
time for the eventual (hopeful) takeoff when i retire. my wife and i
still do tent camping a bit, so we are use to some aspects of life in the
wild (our big trip to date was 20 yrs ago when we spent a week back-
packing the Gila Wilderness in southern NM--still one of my favorite areas).
anyhoo, i'm just learning and asking questions and hope i eventually can
join ya'll on the road!
